Planned vs Actual Reports

Since users may want to monitor the performance of bus operators and their observance of schedule when servicing student transportation routes, Compass provides the option to generate Planned vs Actual reports that include originally planned schedules and data received from GPS/AVL showing actual arrival times at both Schools (Planned vs Actual at Schools ) and bus Stops (Planned vs Actual at Stops).

These reports allow customers to detect deviations from scheduled times in order to determine the compliance of the service providers.

Generating Planned vs Actual Reports

If you want to generate these reports, log in into Compass Route Builder and access the Reports module by clicking on its corresponding tab. Once the module is displayed, click on AVL/GPS Mobile and select the type of report to be generated, i.e. Planned vs Actual at Schools or Planned vs Actual at Stops.

When the Planned vs Actual at Schools Report tool is displayed:

  1. Select a Scenario.
